Not sequential enums via web services

[SBGibson]

Hi guys,

you know if there's some problem passing a not sequential enum via web services?
I noticed that a
public enum myenum {
firstelement=1,
secondelement=10,
finalelement=15
end enum

become in the reference on the client
public enum myenum {
firstelement,
secondelement,
finalelement
end enum

That is wrong cause if I pass myenum.secondelement I receive an error saying that "10 is not a valid element for myenum"

Try defining your enum with a Flags Attribute:

<FlagsAttribute()>
Public Enum myenum {
   firstelement=1,
   secondelement=10,
   finalelement=15
End Enum

BTW, you know this is the C# forum, and you posted VB.NET code?

In C# it would be:

[FlagsAttribute]
Enum myenum {
   firstelement=1,
   secondelement=10,
   finalelement=15
};
